Chapter 138: Prologue to Terror
Zhou Qian stood under a wall, and the night pearl on his side glowed with a faint and soft light, illuminating his expression very clearly.
There was some anxiety, some confusion, and a hint of panic and fear that I had never seen on his face.
I have heard the stories of Zhou Qian's experience, and I know that this cousin of mine has a calm and calm personality, except for being afraid of heights and cold, it is difficult for anything to make him afraid. Although he is trapped in this tomb now, the future is unpredictable, but after all, he has not yet reached the desperate juncture of facing death, so why did Zhou Qian show fear?
"Brother ......" looked at Zhou Qian's abnormal expression, I felt uneasy, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhou Qian exhaled a light breath, but his brows were still tightly locked, and he said in a deep voice: "Girl...... It's gone."
I was shocked in my heart, raised my eyes and looked around, it was true that I didn't see the girl's figure, there was still a person lying on the ground, but at first glance it was a man, not a girl.
The girl is gone...... The childhood sweetheart's lover is missing, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, no wonder Zhou Qian is so afraid
"There's something wrong with that bus," Zhou Qian regained his composure and said softly. It's just that in the depths of his eyes, he can still see the trace of fear and ...... Wrath.
I also suspect that there is something wrong with the bus, otherwise so many of us would not have been killed, but I don't know how the murderer did it
"Are we drugged?" I touched my braincase, which was still a little uncomfortable, "But I haven't eaten anything since I got in the car."
"I didn't even drink water." Mu Ling interjected.
Zhou Qian looked at the tourists who were in a panic a few meters away, and said softly: "The murderer should have done something on the bus, and one of us should be an aerosol-type drug." Based on the sequelae of our current body and the actual situation of the bus, it is most likely that the murderer added anesthetics to the air conditioning system of the bus, so that it is possible to put all of us down at the same time."
I thought for a while and said, "Doing things in the air-conditioning system of the bus, isn't this something that ordinary people can do, and the murderer is the driver or tour guide of the bus?" ”
Mu Ling frowned and said, "Could it be that someone secretly got on the bus and did things in the bus when everyone was away?" ”
I said, "This... Isn't it impossible that the murderer was one of the tourists? ”
"The murderer was the bus driver, at least it had something to do with him." Zhou Qian said affirmatively.
"Couldn't be one of the tourists?"
"I don't know if any of the tourists were involved in it, but the bus driver must have had something to do with it."
I looked at Zhou Qian suspiciously, wondering why he was so sure that the bus driver was the murderer.
"Why?"
Zhou Qian said: "We are standing here now, this is the reason. ”
I'm not stupid, I understood it all at once.
We only have the sequelae of lethargy, and there are no external injuries on our bodies, which is indeed the reason.
"I see." Mu Ling also seemed to understand what Zhou Qian meant.
Zhou Qian continued: "Anesthetics are treated equally, and they can't be recognized as enemies. The murderer was using anesthetics in the car, and the driver was also in the car, if he was not the murderer, he would definitely have been overturned. The ending must be the destruction of the car, but we are all good now, which means that there is no problem with the car in the end, then the only problem is the driver."
"Could it be that the bus driver forced the bus to stop before he passed out?" Zhang Ming didn't know when he came to us, and said, "I have seen the news, there is a bus driver in Zhejiang who is driving on the highway, and a piece of iron flying outside the car broke through the windshield, hit him in the abdomen, and broke his spleen. ”
I have also heard what Zhang Ming said, and it was reported in the news that the bus driver's surname was Wu, and he was later rated as the most beautiful driver.
"No, it won't." Zhou Qian's tone was calm, and he seemed quite confident in his reasoning, "I fell asleep late, probably because my position is far away from the air conditioning outlet. At that time, most of the people on the bus had already fallen asleep, and I was groggy at the time, but one thing was clear: the bus was still speeding at high speed, fast and steady. The driver's position is very close to the air conditioning outlet, and most of the people in the car are already asleep, how can the driver not be affected at all? ”
We were all silent and speechless, it seemed that Zhou Qian was right, and this matter should have something to do with the bus driver.
It's just that......
In my head, I couldn't remember the driver at all.
"I knew I should have made a note of the driver's appearance." I said with some annoyance, but I also knew in my heart that this was impossible, I am an ordinary person, who would pay attention to the appearance of a driver?
"You can't remember what the driver looks like." Zhou Qian shook his head and said, "Because he brought a mask." ”
Hearing Zhou Qian's mention, I thought about it carefully, and the driver seemed to be wearing a white mask.
I wasn't amazed by Zhou Qian's meticulous observation, because he was Zhou Qian after all, and I thought to myself how a driver could wear a mask for no reason, it must be to make sure that he was not put down by anesthetics, so this matter must be related to the bus driver
But why did he go out of his way to do it? Did it commit the crime on its own or was it instigated?
Where are the people who disappeared on the bus? Are you still alive?
I don't know the answers to these questions, and neither does Zhou Qian. And because of the girl's disappearance, Zhou Qian's mood became a little anxious, which can be seen from the murderous eyes on his frowning brows. It's just that we are trapped in this tomb now and can't get out, and Zhou Qian can only suppress the anxiety in his heart and maintain a calm appearance.
There were nine people in the burial chamber, all but a man lying on the ground, all of whom were awake, and they reacted the same way I did when I woke up, groping against the stone wall to find a place to get out. Naturally, the result was no success. After a while, they gradually calmed down, and we all got together to discuss the current predicament and discuss how to get out.
Of course, the first step is to introduce our names and resumes to get acquainted with each other.
I don't need to introduce Zhang Ming anymore, one of the remaining five people is still lying on the ground and sleeping, and two of the other four are a middle-aged couple, they brought their daughter who just graduated from high school to travel to Beijing, but now they are the only ones, and their daughter is missing.
The remaining man was a man in his forties and fifties, named Han Xin, who was in business, and had taken his wife out to play, who had disappeared.
The last person was a fat man in his thirties, named Huang Xu, who came to Beijing for tourism alone.
After the introductions, there was a strange silence in the burial chamber.
"Ahem, everyone," Zhang Ming, an antique lover, cleared his throat and broke the silence, "I believe everyone is already aware of our current situation." If anyone still doesn't understand, I can explain to you a little bit, the bus driver did something on the bus, put us down with medicine, and then locked us up in this doorless tomb. And some of our relatives are not in this tomb, they should have been locked up by the murderer in another place. At this point he paused, "And that includes my son, who is still in high school." It's unclear what the murderer's intentions were, or who would go to such great lengths to plot against us. But the murderer will certainly not do this for no reason, what we can do now is first of all to stay calm, not panic, wait for rescue, or wait for the murderer to contact us and tell us his intentions"
The husband of the middle-aged couple was named Wang Jianghua, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "What you said is light, and it's not that your daughter is missing, of course you don't panic."
Zhang Ming's face changed, and he said coldly: "My son is also missing, do you think I'm not anxious?" But we are trapped in this tomb, and we have all searched carefully just now, is there a place where we can get out? What's the use of panicking, it can only be self-chaos, and the ending will be even worse"
